Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 61Mar 29, 2015 10:52 pm So we have had PCI We got a building inspector out who was fantastic! He said that our house was in his 'top 10' of having very little poor workmanship. He said we have a great build. We did get abit of a list for small things to be replaced like door handles and the robe sliders need adjusting but nothing major good thing is Impressions is addressing every item on the building inspectors report. We are currently just waiting for the bank to make the final payment. The house has been evaluated so I'm hoping for keys by Wednesday. We are so excited Building our first home - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75306 Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 63Mar 29, 2015 11:23 pm That's what I'm hoping for so we can get the tilers in just after Building our first home - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75306 Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 64Mar 30, 2015 3:29 am That is wonderful news - so happy for you!!! Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 65Mar 30, 2015 11:42 am Glad to hear PCI went well for you! Fingers crossed you get the keys soon!!! Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 66Mar 30, 2015 11:54 am We managed to get the painters in after PCI Impressions allowed us to. We chose a really really light grey throughout the house and in the theatre we went a medium grey for the walls, a dark grey for the box and the ceiling is a grey (all most white). It's kind of hard to tell in photos but once the curtains are up which are all paid for and ordered then it will change the whole look.

Love it Nice colours! How good that the painters were able to start Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 69Apr 02, 2015 1:44 am Natalie92 Did you get keys cara? Yes we got keys!!! Our supervisor told us, his boss and the client liaison that all items on the building inspectors report was addressed. I arrived today and only half the items had been done. So annoying!! But I wrote a list and they will get addressed. The big boss is super annoyed he was told they were done. The house isn't also up to a standard clean of finish. I don't mind abit of dirt but skid marks in the toilets and sand everywhere doesn't sit well with me when they say cleaners have been so I mentioned that aswell. Just so glad to finally have keys after so long!

That is really exciting Annoying about those extra bits and pieces though! Hopefully everything gets finished really soon. Re: Cara and Matt's First Build - Baldivis 75Apr 03, 2015 9:02 pm Yeah it is annoying about the extra bits and pieces but thankfully nothing too big needs to be done and most is getting addressed on Tuesday before our trades get in thankfully I haven't been down to the house since I got the keys but I will be down on Tuesday for when the tiles get delivered, the cleaners will be there so I hope they clean it properly!
